i think i can do it. my friend does track days and seems to change tires monthly. i shouldnt have a shortage of practice.

what about balancing? my friend has a balancer, but what about roadside? i imagine you dont move the rotation if i am fixing a tube leak. so balance wont be off? what about a tire change? i know my buddy has a balancer.

It pretty much depends entirely what wheels/tires you have. Tubeless can be tough to break the bead on a tire without the right tool. Can be hard work to get the bead on some tires over the rim.
